At the VH1 Hip Hop Honors Show, Kanye West was wearing a new pair of his collaboration sneakers with Nike – the Air Yeezy. This new colorway features bright red mixed with grey and white. The red is perforated leather, while the grey is suede giving these shoes a very unique look.
There’s no word of a release for the Air Yeezy, but with all the colorways seen on Kanye and his entourage, eventually these kicks should hit the shelves. Via What’s Poppin’.
We have seen these shoes on Kanye West’s feet time and time again, but never any clear photos. Now, you can finally get a good look at the Nike Air Yeezy.
The black version uses a lot of different textures for a pretty sweet look, but I’m not fond of the beige shoe. Here’s the details:
“The Air Yeezy is inspired by Kanye’s love for high top designer shoes, drafting from the collar molding seen in the Air Jordan V and featuring a thin midfoot strap hardly meant for support. While originally conceptualized atop a Dunk midsole, the final version of the Yeezy features the familiar shared tooling from the Jordan III and Air Revolution, which most recently was also featured on Jordan Brand’s Spiz’ike and a lesser known model that deservedly flew under the radar, the Flight 48. It’s also the bulkiness of the shoe’s tongue that stands out most, with West always opting to pop the tongue and leave the waxed laces loosely tied. An ode to his tour, the model’s outsole also actually glows in the dark, as similar to a common glow stick, if the shoe is held near light, the familiar green glowing hue will radiate afterwards out from under the shoe. This black/glow colorway features a ridiculously high quality full grain leather along the heel quarter, with rich suede making up the toe and midfoot overlays and patent leather highlighting the dominant midfoot strap.” Via Solecollector.
